Former employee wins’ at the racetrack

Tuesday

Cheers to the Finger Lakes Gaming and Race Track, which gave a former employee “a day she will never forget.”

Cheers to the Finger Lakes Gaming and Race Track, which gave a former employee “a day she will never forget.”

These were the words of Sally Scoda, who retired from Finger Lakes Race Track after more than 40 years of employment. As a current resident of Quail Summit, she was granted her wish of returning to spend a day at the racetrack through the efforts of Second Wind Dreams at Quail Summit.

Second Wind is a nonprofit, international organization whose mission is to fulfill the “dreams” of senior citizens they may have thought unattainable. Members of this organization contacted the racetrack, which generously arranged a wonderful day of surprises for Sally, including her name on the tote board.

The second race was designated the Sally Scoda-Second Wind Dreams Purse. Sally was present in the winner’s circle and was given the winning trophy to keep as a memento of the day.
Many thanks to Finger Lakes Gaming and Race Track for honoring their former employee in such a generous way.
